Hypothetico-Deductive Model

The Hypothetico-Deductive Model is a scientific method where researchers start by forming a testable hypothesis or prediction. They then design experiments or observations to test whether this prediction holds true. If the results support the hypothesis, it gains credibility; if not, the hypothesis is revised or rejected. This process helps scientists systematically evaluate ideas about how the world works, ensuring conclusions are based on evidence rather than assumptions. It emphasizes logical reasoning—deducing predictions from hypotheses and testing these predictions through observation or experimentation.
